Beauty round-up from New York Fashion Week A/W 2016, Day 5

Festive looks from Tommy Hilfiger, Jeremy Scott, and more

Now that we’re officially in the latter half of New York fashion week, everyone and every show seemed somehow looser, and buoyant (certainly most of us have given up on heels at this point, so maybe there’s that). The day started off with a bang at Tommy Hilfiger’s young, sparkling, social-media-optimised party at the Park Avenue Armory, and the energy carried over into lighthearted looks from Jeremy Scott and Thom Browne. Click through for some of our favorites:

All gold everything at Tommy Hilfiger

Backstage make-up queen Pat McGrath was on hand for Hilfiger’s nautical blowout, featuring supermodels of the moment like Gigi and Jourdan. Let’s be real, these girls don’t need much to look great, but their sparkling gold eyeliner was nonetheless a winning look.

Beverly hillbilly chic at Jeremy Scott

File this one under ‘all stops pulled out’. Barbie pink lips—check. Turquoise eyeliner—check. Dolly Parton-esque bouffants—of course. Nothing new here by the Jeremy Scott standard, but a welcome reprieve from serious runway beauty all the same. As the show’s hairstylist Eugene Souleiman told Fashionista.com,”It’s not about good taste, it’s about having fun.”

Powder and blue at Thom Browne

Browne’s collection was set in a meticulous recreation of 1920’s New York, and the make-up look was, accordingly, a modern relic. The ultra-powdered face and heavy-handed turquoise shadow seemed like the hottest new look for a Prohibition-era demi-mondaine. This one’s not exactly wearable, unless you’re Lynn Yaeger, but we’re suckers for a period piece.

Hair-in-face at 3.1 Phillip Lim

There is nothing that Phillip Lim girls’ eye-grazing hair brought to mind more than a sullen teen girl. Which is ironic because the clothes themselves were breezy workday separates for decidedly adult women. But something about their juxtaposition perfectly encapsulated the Peter Pan tensions of modern adult life—we don’t ever want to grow up.

Reds for every skin tone at Zac Posen

The clothes Zac Posen showed were gorgeous, of course. But our jaws really dropped at the multicultural model cast, one of the most diverse in recent memory. Their make-up treatment was pretty simple–lots of red lips–but was unmistakably tailored to each girl’s skin tone and complexion. That’s the kind of attention we rarely see in runway beauty, and it’s inspired us to continue the [perennial] quest for the perfect red.
